Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work belong to the protection scope of the present invention.

[0046] Embodiment 1:

[0047] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a camper frame with a small folding volume, comprising four support rods connected end to end to form the camper frame; the camper frame comprises an unfolded state, a first folded state, and a second folded state;

[0048] When the camper frame is in the unfolded state, the four support rods are connected end to end to form a camper frame; the camper frame formed by the four support rods of the camper frame connected end to end can be square in the unfolded state;

[0049] When the camper frame is in the first folding state, the camper frame is folded along the first diagonal line in the unfolded state, and the volume of the camper frame is reduced after being folded along the first diagonal line;

[0050] When the camper frame is in the second folding state, the four support rods are folded together, and after further folding, the volume of the camper frame is further reduced;

[0051] Among them, when the camper frame is unfolded, the camper frame is first switched from the second folding state to the first folding state, and then switched from the first folding state to the unfolded state, that is, when the camper frame is unfolded, it is unfolded in the order of the second folding state to the first folding state and then to the unfolded state; when the camper frame is folded, the camper frame is first switched from the unfolded state to the first folding state, and then switched from the first folding state to the second folding state.

[0052] In some specific embodiments, the four support rods are respectively a first support rod 1, a second support rod 2, a third support rod 3 and a fourth support rod 4 from the head end to the tail end;

[0053] A first connecting seat 5 is provided between the first supporting rod 1 and the fourth supporting rod 4 and between the second supporting rod 2 and the third supporting rod 3; a second connecting seat 6 is provided between the first supporting rod 1 and the second supporting rod 2 and between the third supporting rod 3 and the fourth supporting rod 4;

[0054] Specifically, Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, each of the first connection seats 5 includes two sub-connection seats 51, each sub-connection seat 51 is fixedly connected to its corresponding support rod, and the two sub-connection seats 51 are hinged through a first pin shaft; when the camper frame is in the unfolded state, the first diagonal line is the line between the two first pin shafts. When the camper frame switches from the unfolded state to the first folded state, the two sub-connection seats 51 can rotate relative to each other, so that the camper frame is folded along the first diagonal line. When the four support rods are of equal length, after folding, the first support rod 1 and the fourth support rod 4 are close together, and the second support rod 2 and the third support rod 3 are close together.

[0055] In order to facilitate the connection between the sub-connection seat 51 and the corresponding support rod, a slot is provided on the sub-connection seat 51, and the corresponding support rod is inserted into the slot.

[0056] In this embodiment, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in order to facilitate the camper frame to switch from the first folding state to the second folding state, each of the second connecting seats 6 is provided with a fixing portion 61 and a hinge portion 62;

[0057] When the camper frame is in the first folding state, the second support rod 2 and the third support rod 3 can be arranged to rotate toward the first support rod 1 and the fourth support rod 4 so that the four support rods are brought together. Specifically, the first support rod 1 and the fourth support rod 4 are respectively fixedly connected to their corresponding fixing parts 61, and the second support rod 2 and the third support rod 3 are respectively hinged to their corresponding hinge parts 62.

[0058] When the camper frame is in the first folding state, it can also be configured to rotate the first support rod 1 and the fourth support rod 4 toward the second support rod 2 and the third support rod 3 so that the four support rods are brought together. Specifically, the first support rod 1 and the fourth support rod 4 are respectively hinged to their corresponding hinged parts 62, and the second support rod 2 and the third support rod 3 are respectively fixedly connected to their corresponding fixed parts 61.

[0059] In order to facilitate the connection between the support rod and the fixing part 61, the fixing part 61 is a slot, and the support rod connected to the slot is inserted into the corresponding slot, and the connection between the support rod and the slot can also be reinforced by bolts and nuts; the hinge part 62 is a hinge groove, and the support rod connected to the hinge groove is hinged in the corresponding hinge groove through a hinge shaft. For example, when the second support rod 2 and the third support rod 3 are rotated toward the first support rod 1 and the fourth support rod 4 so that the four support rods are close together, the second support rod 2 and the third support rod 3 are respectively hinged to the corresponding hinge groove, and the first support rod 1 and the fourth support rod 4 are respectively connected to the corresponding slot.

[0060] In some specific embodiments, Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, in order to make the camper frame more stable in the unfolded state, a locking assembly for locking the camper frame in the unfolded state is further provided between the two sub-connection seats 51. When the camper frame is in the unfolded state, the locking assembly locks the two sub-connection seats 51 together to prevent the two sub-connection seats 51 from rotating relative to each other when the camper is subjected to bumps and other factors, so that the camper frame is more stable when in the unfolded state.

[0061] In some specific embodiments, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in order to facilitate folding or unfolding the camper frame, the locking assembly is preferably a quick-release structure. Specifically, the locking assembly includes a block 52 provided on one of the sub-connection seats 51 and a slot 53 provided on the other sub-connection seat 51; when the camper frame is in the unfolded state, the block 52 is inserted into the slot 53; when the camper frame is switched from the unfolded state to the first folded state, the block 52 is disengaged from the slot 53. When the camper frame is used as the bottom frame of the camper, a specific mode is that the first pin is located on the upper side of the first connection seat 5, and both sub-connection seats 51 are provided with through holes for the pin to pass through. The card block 52 and the card slot 53 are located at the lower side of the first connecting seat 5. The shape of the card block 52 can be set to be a card hook, and the card slot 53 is set to be a shape compatible with the card hook, so that when the camper frame is in the unfolded state, the card hook is synchronously inserted into the card slot 53. When the camper frame switches from the unfolded state to the first folded state, the card hook automatically disengages from the card slot 53 as the two sub-connecting seats 51 rotate relative to each other.

[0062] In some specific embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, when the camper frame is used as the base frame of the camper, in order to facilitate the installation of the column, the two first connecting seats 5 and the two second connecting seats 6 are both provided with a column connecting portion. Specifically, the column connecting portion can be a connecting groove 7.

[0063] Embodiment 2:

[0064] like Figure 6 As shown, this embodiment provides a camper, comprising four upright posts 8, four sets of wheel assemblies 9, a push rod assembly 10 and a camper frame with a small folding volume as described in the first embodiment;

[0065] The four uprights 8 are located on the upper side of the camper frame, the push rod assembly 10 is located on the front side of the camper frame, and the four sets of wheel assemblies 9 are located on the lower side of the camper frame;

[0066] The push rod assembly 10, the four upright posts 8 and the four sets of wheel assemblies 9 are all detachably connected to the camper frame.

[0067] Specifically, the first connection seat 5 and the second connection seat 6 are both provided with connection grooves 7, and the four pillars 8 of the camper are respectively inserted into the four connection grooves 7. The bottom of the connection groove 7 is provided with a through hole, and the upper end of the wheel assembly 9 is inserted into the through hole so as to be detachably connected with the pillar 8, which can be specifically connected in a clamping manner. The first connection seat 5 and the second connection seat 6 located on the front side of the camper frame are both provided with a push rod hinge seat, and the left and right sides of the lower end of the push rod assembly 10 are respectively hinged with the first connection seat 5 and the second connection seat 6 located on the front side, and the push rod assembly 10 and the camper frame can be set as a quick-release structure to facilitate disassembly, such as by bolts and nuts. The camper can also be provided with a storage cloth 11, and specifically, the storage cloth 11 is connected to the four pillars 8.

[0068] When the camper is folded, the push rod assembly 10, the four sets of wheel assemblies 9 and the four uprights 8 are first removed, and then the frame of the camper is folded.

[0069] Working principle description:

[0070] When the camper frame is folded, the camper frame is first folded along the first diagonal line, and then the second support rod 2 and the third support rod 3 are rotated toward the first support rod 1 and the fourth support rod 4, so that the four support rods are folded and put together. When the camper frame is unfolded, the second support rod 2 and the third support rod 3 are first rotated away from the first support rod 1 and the fourth support rod 4, so that the camper frame is switched to the first folded state, and then rotated along the first diagonal line, so that the camper frame is switched to the unfolded state.

[0071] The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned optional implementation modes. Anyone can derive other various forms of products under the inspiration of the present invention. However, no matter what changes are made in the shape or structure, all technical solutions that fall within the scope defined by the claims of the present invention fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
